As I sit here on my plush couch in the middle of the night, I’m simply reflecting on all of the occurrences in 2015. From exciting vacations to big investments and a new living space, it’s been one heck of a ride.

What techniques and strengths do you possess that will help you survive, and what can you learn and adapt to in order to make the journey worthwhile, or, well, a tad bit easier?

Yogi really knows how to make me smile with its little messages. If you follow me on Instagram, I’m sure you’ve seen my daily posts. Today, Yogi says: “The purpose of life is to enjoy every moment.” How retable to this post about the fruitful moments of 23 🙂
